Poll for men and women: do movies with a spiritual content have an impact on you?

Question

The matrix is a perfect example if you read between the lines , also the little buddha with keanu reeves as protagonist too ! Joan of arc , ect ...do you think less violence more spirituality would give something to think to the masses ?

Answer 1

Never saw The Matrix, but I did see The Passion, as others have mentioned, and yes, it did have an impact on me. The only other time I saw an audience so somber at the end of a movie was when I went to see Schindler's List.

I also saw the Joan of Arc movie that they did on TV back in the '90s. That really had an impact on me, too. I usually don't watch such serious movies, though.

Answer 2

give an example.. there are so few these days. And most spiritual content is weird liberal faux spirituality.



    But I must admit the Passion movie was very moving.

Was about the only time in my life I seen an entire theater audience stay seated throughout the credits not saying a word.

Answer 3

No. I'm not a religious or spiritual person. If a movie is subliminally spiritual, I tend to miss the signs.

Answer 4

to answer your first question, no.  no impact whatsoever.  I don't support Disney crapola either.

Answer 5

honestly it depends on the movie. if it is a movie about my religion maybe if it is about say buddah no it has no good impact on me whatsoever.

Answer 6

The Passion of the Christ had an effect on a lot of people.

Watch my thumbs down....

EDIT @ Kris: Me too. No one said anything. They just sat there! Afterwards, we didn't talk the whole way home.

Answer 7

Spiritual, no. Christian theme, yes.

Answer 8

What do you mean by 'spiritual content'?

This is open to interpretation.  It would depend on the film, obviously.
